User-submitted image -  Click to see real sizeMy daughters and I would like to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for funding my request for help. You have lifted a heavy burden and relieved so much stress! As their mother, I had daily thoughts about money and trying to make sure I have enough to maintain our stability. Now, I don't have to worry about rent for a month and feel so blessed by your donation. I'm forever grateful for your selflessness toward my family and it really has inspired me to help other families in the future going through a similar struggle. Thank you for blessing my family with such an amazing gift!



I Was Unemployed For Months. I Found A New Job, But We're About to Lose Our Home

My Story:

I'm a single mother with two young daughters a 10-month-old and 3-year-old. We love to be outdoors, sing together, and have story time. My girls are my world and I'm trying to get to a position where I'm no longer dependent on any assistance outside of my income. I started a job a month ago as a claims manager in Jacksonville, FL so I had to move from Orlando, FL.

I was on maternity leave last year and I was laid off one month after returning to work. I have been barely scraping by with food stamps and unemployment benefits, but I started a new job recently. Unfortunately, I had to move in order to accept the position. Paying moving costs after having no income for a few months was really tight. I'm living paycheck to paycheck and I need Modest Needs' help paying for one month's rent.

I was forced to file bankruptcy last year May 2017 due to medical bills from a high-risk pregnancy with my 2nd daughter. I've secured a place and a good job where I can support my daughters, but with moving last minute and trying to maintain bills on my limited income, I fear that without this assistance and nowhere else to turn, I will get evicted would start the cycle all over again. I would just like to actual create a savings and pay all my bills on time as I am starting over financially.
